I couldn't find where Beholder ever had her own Discussion thread. Anyway she had a workout today. Her last workout was June 2, right before her 4th place finish, June 7th, in the Ogden Phipps Stakes (Gr. 1).

I mentioned this earlier and repeat it here because I think it's so cool--Richard Mandella was a senior at Beaumont High School in 1968-1969, the year I taught there. I didn't have him in any of my classes, but I may have seen him wandering around campus. He's in my yearbook, of course. Small world.
The rich get richer -- Mike Smith will ride two-time champion Beholder when she returns to action. Smith just worked her 7f in 1:24. #delmar

Just when you thought Mike Smith’s life couldn’t get any better, it has.
Fresh off his 4-win day Sunday at Del Mar, including two stakes races, including the G1 Pacific Classic, jockey Mike Smith has been named to replace, Gary Stevens, aboard Eclipse Award winner, Beholder.
The veteran jockey was aboard the champion mare this morning at Del Mar when she worked 7-furlongs in 1:24. She started the work five back of her workmate and was a length ahead at the finish. Afterward, trainer Richard Mandella, who lost his champion filly’s regular rider when… Stevens underwent knee replacement surgery, confirmed the switch to Smith. Stevens is not expected back until after the first of the year, if at all.

Edited release: Spendthrift Farm Press Release Sept. 24 2014
The list of high-profile mares slated to sell at the Fasig-Tipton November sale continues to grow as it was announced Wednesday evening that two-time Eclipse Award and Breeders’ Cup winner Beholder would be offered at the auction days after her expected title defense in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Owner B. Wayne Hughes’ Spendthrift Farm will consign the 4-year-old filly.
“Beholder is a truly special filly,” said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift general manager. “Her conformation is both flawless and spectacular. As a half-sister to one of the most exciting young stallions (Into Mischief) in the world, her pedigree really is unique and her race record quite simply speaks for itself.”
